Description

CANNED HEAT cook book - original US Liberty LP EX vinyl

These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding.

This listing is for a copy of Canned Heat's 1970 best of album

Caned Heat
Cook Book
US Liberty label
1970
Cat Number: LST 11000

Mode: Stereo

The Album:
Good old fashioned blues from the bear and friends. Hits On the road again and Going up the country plus selected other tracks. It's a US release in one of those vulnerable heavy card sleeves which has held up really well - shame that it's an import qualifying for a corner cut, which is the only thing stopping this from being a really good package as the vinyl has only had a handful of plays since I bought it.

Condition:
Cover: Unlaminated gatefold sleeve is great apart from the corner cut. It is otherwise strong and intact with just a hint of wear, none of the damage so often seen on similar American sleeves. Strong spine with text all legible.
Labels:Liberty black & rainbow labels are bright and clean. Virtually no spindle marks, excellent.
Vinyl: Vinyl looks great with just the customary light surface paper scrapes. It plays excellently throughout.

Overall:
A great copy of this album just marred by the corner cut - I'd guess that it might be professionally graded as (cover / vinyl) VG / EX

Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing. I played almost all of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.

Postage:
I always make a loss on postage. Ebay now surcharge sellers 10% of postage costs for which there can be no justification - I refuse to pass this levy on to buyers, so you only pay post and packing, they get to rip me off, not you.

Current UK internal weight ranges allow two or three LPs to be posted first class for the same cost as one. Second class charges can currently cover 5 or 6 albums but for 4-6 I'll use a second mailer. Approximate prices for normal postage with new custom packaging -

UK £3-69 first class for up to 1kg (1,2 or 3 average weight LPs), £3-19 second class for 1 - 3 or £3-58 for 4 - 6 LP's. Double LP's count as two

Europe £5.89 + £1.45 each additional,

Rest of world £8.09 + £2.70 each additional item

These amounts include estimated actual Royal Mail cost for first class or air mail, plus 39p for cost of packaging material (a brand new custom mailer with stiffener).

International bidders welcome, but postage to some locations will be handled by the eBay global shipping program - unfortunately I have no control over the onward shipping cost, just the UK leg which will cost as above.

I'm happy to hold records for a short while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment, but it helps if you can let me know particularly when bidding on items separated by a few days.

Losses: Royal Mail maximum compensation is £20 unless items are signed-for. Compensation on signed-for shipments is up to £50. Overseas purchasers - if your purchase is well over £20, a signed for service must be selected when paying or shipping will be at your own risk, not mine, and normal airmail will only be covered for up to £20. Payment by Sterling cheque / money order, or via Paypal

The time has come to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.

Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my beloved vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come.
